Chapter 399: Chapter 396: Come and Fight Me If You’re Not Convinced

SWISH!

In perfect unison, all the Liu Family disciples turned their gazes to their Immortal Ancestor, awaiting his decision.

In truth, they were also eager to see how their ancestor would handle the matter.

Regardless of Liu Feng’s actions or whether he deserved to die, he was, at the very least, a member of the Liu Family, while Mo Qi was an outsider.

Just as Huangfu Yu had said, if the Immortal Ancestor simply let the matter slide without making Mo Qi give an explanation or pay a price, it would be truly disheartening.

The Liu Family Immortal was also vexed. ’How am I supposed to resolve this?’

Punishing Mo Qi was clearly out of the question, but not punishing him would fail to quell the crowd’s anger.

For a moment, an eerie silence fell over the scene.

Just then, Mo Qi couldn’t help but scratch his head, breaking the silence.

Seeing this, a flash of inspiration struck the Liu Family’s ancestor. ’I’ve got it!’

’Since Mo Qi was the one who started this mess, I’ll just let him solve it himself!’

"Brat, I’ve said it before. As a general principle, I don’t interfere in the affairs of you juniors."

"You see the situation. Liu Feng died at your hands, and these little ones are all holding in a bellyful of anger. You figure it out."

"If you can’t handle it well, I’m afraid I’ll have to step in myself. And when that happens... you know how it’ll be."

Mo Qi rolled his eyes. ’I know jack squat!’

’You’re the Immortal Ancestor. Even if the people below are unhappy with your decision, what can they possibly do to you?’

’This is something you could resolve with a single sentence, yet you just had to dump it all on me.’

’Fine!’

’You want me to solve it myself?’

’Then I’ll do it!’

’I just hope your heart is strong enough to take it!’

"There are some things I will only say once, and some chances I will only give you once!" Mo Qi took a step forward, his gaze fixed on the Liu Family members as he spoke in a low, heavy voice.

His gaze swept over the Liu Family disciples one by one, sharp and oppressive.

"That’s right, I’m the one who killed Liu Feng!"

Mo Qi paused, then continued, "I know many of you are pissed off. You think I’m arrogant, that I came here deliberately to provoke your Liu Family."

"Well, I can tell you now, you guessed right! I, Mo Qi, am arrogant! And I do look down on you!"

"If you don’t like it, come and fight me!"

The Liu Family Immortal slapped a hand to his forehead. "..."

’Oh, for crying out loud!’

’What the hell is this little bastard trying to do?!’

’I told you to handle it, hoping you’d find a way to resolve their resentment, not escalate the conflict.’

’Now let’s see how you’re going to clean up this mess!’

Mo Qi’s words sent the many young disciples of the Liu Family into an uproar.

"He’s so damn arrogant! I can’t take it anymore! I’m going to fight him!"

"Killing someone in front of our Liu Family’s gates was already a grave offense, and now he looks down on us like this. He really deserves to die!"

"Even if it’s not for revenge for Liu Feng, we have to fight for the honor of our Liu Family!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The younger generation of the Liu Family was in a frenzy.

If at first their hostility toward Mo Qi stemmed from a sense of shared grief, now, from the bottom of their hearts, they truly wanted a life-and-death battle with him!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Hundreds, then thousands of figures flew out from within the Liu Residence, surrounding Mo Qi completely.

They were all the best of the Liu Family’s younger generation, with Cultivation ranging from the Purity Realm to the Vajra Realm.

And as time went on, more people continuously flew out from the Liu Family residence to join the massive crusade.

Their numbers gradually approached ten thousand.

Seeing this, Mo Qi didn’t panic. Instead, he laughed. "It’s not that I look down on you, but a pile of rotten potatoes and foul eggs like you actually dares to shout at me and think you can fight me?"

"Arrogance isn’t an attitude, it’s a qualification. Are you qualified?"

As he spoke, Mo Qi took out Xiao Shan’s black Immortal Sword and tossed it into the air.

CLANG!

The Immortal Sword hummed as it cut through the sky, finally landing steadily on the ground, half its blade buried in the earth.

BOOM!

With a tremendous crash, a dense network of cracks spread out in all directions with the sword at its center.

Along with it came a powerful wave of Energy that shook the surrounding Liu Family disciples, making them stumble backward unsteadily.

Some with slightly weaker Cultivation even fell directly to the ground, their faces pale.

Even though Mo Qi hadn’t activated the Immortal Sword, its inherent sharpness alone was terrifying.

"So, are you coming one at a time, or all at once?"

The stunned and uncertain Liu Family disciples: "..."

’Can you have some damn shame?’

’You’ve pulled out an Immortal Artifact-level Magical Artifact. What the hell is there to fight?’

’Why don’t you just put on Xiao Shan’s Pseudo-Immortal Defense Robe while you’re at it?’

Just as everyone was frantically cursing him in their minds, Mo Qi, in front of them all, actually took out that very robe and leisurely put it on.

Everyone: "..."

’Are you always this shameless? Does your family know?’

"Who was shouting the loudest just now? Where are you? Come on over and fight!"

Mo Qi held his head high, his nostrils pointed to the sky. With hands on his hips and legs shaking, he looked as punchable as humanly possible.

No one answered him. In fact, everyone lowered their heads.

On one hand, they didn’t dare to meet his gaze, afraid Mo Qi would mistake it for a provocation.

On the other hand, they didn’t want to see Mo Qi’s smug, show-off face.

’No wonder that guy Qian Duoduo loves to show off so much. It feels amazing!’ Mo Qi thought to himself, mimicking Qian Duoduo’s movements from memory.

"Hmm? Weren’t you all acting as fierce as wolf pups a moment ago? Why has everyone chickened out now?" Mo Qi asked, feigning ignorance.

"Heh, so you’re just a bunch of useless cowards who bully the weak, fear the strong, and like to gang up on people," Mo Qi’s undisguised mockery made the faces of the Liu Family disciples turn extremely ugly.

"What, you don’t like it? Do you think I’m bullying you by using this sword?" Mo Qi shot back.

’Of course you are!’ everyone grumbled internally. ’So you do have a little self-awareness after all!’

Mo Qi sneered. "But this sword belongs to me now! It’s a part of my strength!"

"I didn’t steal it, and I didn’t..." Mo Qi was about to say "and I didn’t snatch it," but the words felt wrong as they reached his lips.

’It seems I did snatch this sword!’

So he quickly changed his tune: "...and I didn’t trick anyone. I snatched it with my own ability!"

"Tch, that’s only because our Immortal Ancestor restrained the Xiao Family’s Patriarch, allowing you to take advantage of the situation!" someone from the Liu Family couldn’t help but say sarcastically.

"Take advantage of the situation? Let me ask you all a question. If the same opportunity was presented to you, would you dare to rob Xiao Shan? Would you dare to take this Immortal Sword? Would you dare to strip him naked?"

The three consecutive "would you dares" silenced the Liu Family crowd.

’Would they dare?’

They wouldn’t dare!

"And another thing—do you have the ability to forcibly erase Xiao Shan’s ownership imprint?" Mo Qi dropped another "bombshell," completely crushing the spirits of the Liu Family disciples.

Xiao Shan was in the Divine Sea Half-Immortal Realm. How powerful would one’s methods have to be to forcibly erase his ownership imprint?

This was something the Liu Family disciples wouldn’t even dare to imagine, yet Mo Qi had done it!
